The KerbSat communications satellite launches! KerbSat should hopefully allow for very long range communication in the Kerbin System! The first test will be a unmanned probe, destination to be determined. 
Success! The satellite is put in a very high 900k orbit, and seems to be communicating well.
“Now we just need to decide where to send our first probe!”
